Fuel pump wont shut off when i turn key off
Now this one can be challenging. Sometimes (if you can see it and get to it easily) you can take a tool, crescent wrench or something similar and give it a couple of quick raps
If that does not seem to work, then unplug its power source and allow it to reset itself.
Finally, because of computers in systems, it keeps a memory.
Totally clear out the memory by removing the neg battery terminal first, second, remove the pos battery terminal, then touch the two of the ends together and hold for about 30 seconds or so.
That will erase all error codes in you system. Keep in mind that it will also delete radio channels and similar preprogrammed things in vehicle.
BTW...be sture and check fuses. I've seen cars do all sorts of crazy things because a fuse is blown.
These are just some simple suggestions that i hope gets things up and running. Otherwise, dealership gets to fix things.
Have you got a repair manual? Be sure and check out any other type of repairs.

Could the EGR gasket leak coolant
The EGR valve works on vacuum and can not leak coolant unless you have coolant coming into the intake manifold from some other source. Check the radiator and see if the fluid is low and if it is do a compression check on the cylinders you may have a blown head gasket.

How can I get better gas mileage on 2014 Chevy Silverado 6.2 engine? Just between 9/10 MPG and dealer says there are no GM notices out.
I am assuming you mean 6.2L not 2.6L? There are hundreds of things that can improve fuel mileage but most of them aren't anything to do with your vehicle. Cold weather is hard on fuel mileage so maybe with spring on the way it will improve. Also if you leave it idle to warm up in the mornings (remote start?) it will KILL fuel mileage. Not saying that you shouldn't warm it up, I do too, but it will hurt your fuel economy by a couple MPG depending on how long it runs and how far you drive. Oh and skip the E85 if you have the chance... Sure its cheaper and made here in the US but it takes more of it to make a vehicle run. That said how many HD pickups have driven before? A 2500 with a 6.2L is no gas sipper on even if you are cruising interstates with no trailer hooked to it. If you are using it to haul big loads (why else would you go with a 2500?) or driving a lot of city I'm afraid you may never get much better than that. GOOD LUCK
